CMS - What should I choose? - GoFuckYourself.com

sigurman · 01-29-2008, 12:31 PM

I have seen some posts in this board about CMS's.
MAS, SiteDepth, Carma, PaysiteCMS, aWiz all were anylized.

PaysiteCMS appears to be a very nice help to manage a paysite, but 30k!! OMG! No way.
So, all the others can be my choice.
Can any of the mentioned software (except paysiteCMS) manage a site like dvdstore.com?? I mean fully managed - members area, previews, split movies,
convert into different codecs, make thumbs, model name database, keyword optimization on pages, etc.

tkx!

I like sitedepth. Im not into doing much of the video processing server side personally. It does image resize and watermarking. Nice thing about sitedepth is its a one time payment, and its a reasonable amount.

DutchTeenCash · 01-29-2008, 01:22 PM

sitedepth for sure

good easy to learn and great support

U.R.A.M.F.S · 01-29-2008, 01:23 PM

nope. none of the above. i've used all the ones here.

write your own.

viki · 01-29-2008, 01:31 PM

MAS is good but can't do nearly as much as what you're asking for.

Violetta · 01-29-2008, 01:40 PM

Sitedepth worked fine for me..

Anthony · 01-29-2008, 01:43 PM

After a few hiccups on my end, site depth has pulled through.

For the price, easy learning curve, and ease of use, I'd go with Site Depth.

I don't think anyone of the metioned CMS's will do the job that you are looking for.

PaysiteCMS is available for a 50% discounted when it's hosted, and we should have leasing options available in 4-6 months.

If you get in touch with me, i can show you how it will be worth your while to go with PaysiteCMS regardless of the price.

Well, i am getting to that conclusion...

Have you considered using the new cms VIST by Mansion Productions?

It was written exactly to be a backend for online video stores, and can do all of the required things here - tour v/s members area, preview trailers, video scenes organized into full DVDs with covers, synopsis, cast list, groupings by model, director, production studio, keywords etc.
The only thing it won't do for you out of the box is video codecs transcoding, but if this is a dealbreaker, (and if you have a mighty server) we may add-in such module as a custom-made solution.

Check out http://www.mansionproductions.com/vist/ and contact me at ross [at] mansionproductions com if you are interested. I can show you more.

Elevated X beats all of them Hands Down. Hit up AJ =) we are very happy with their cms

F-U-Jimmy · 01-29-2008, 05:48 PM

Sitedepth works well for us

AJHall · 01-29-2008, 05:58 PM

Take a look at Elevated X. You'll find all the features you're looking for and more ... with an affordable price tag.

quantum-x · 01-29-2008, 07:11 PM

Sitedepth doesnt have the power you want.
CARMA is very decent. From a templating and control front, you can literally do *anything* you want. It uses SMARTY for the templates, and with that plugin architecture, you're able to do literally anything.

The things I've stretched CARMA to do are pretty amazing.
With the latest versions, it auto converts videos you upload into flvs etc.

Wth that said, and i'd have to say with most, if not all CMS systems - they're not going to optimize your pages automatically - you have to give them the templates - but you can create optimised pages, etc.

In any case, from my experience of a lot of adult cms's, it would be CARMA.

www.elevatedx.com is way ahead of the curve. Feature rich, stable and capable of growing with your needs. And this is coming from someone who HAS bought SD, AWW, awiz and a few others.

yeah, O does an AWESOME job, he really does go above and beyond for his clients, I do give him that...but out of the box I think sitedepth can really use a lot more features for power video paysites

Agreed.

I can only speak to my experience, and it's powerful enough for what I need at the moment. But I only have 3 adult membership properties remaining.

Elevated X - It would be nice to see some examples of sites using this CMS.

Kard63 · 01-30-2008, 12:55 PM

How much loot are we talking? I'll write one lol

I'm not too keen on posting client info on a forum as I'm sure our clients wouldn't appreciate that. I hope you understand.

If you want more info contact me and I'll be happy to show you examples.

We have all the modules you need and also offer a monthly payment license for $500 down and $150/mo. Checking out our demo will be well worth your time.
